Brit Awards 2018: Ed Sheeran Addresses 'Wedding Ring' Speculation

But he's in no mood to tell anyone when he will be tying the knot.

He wasn’t among the biggest winners of the evening, but Ed Sheeran still managed to get people talking at the Brit Awards, with many speculating he and fiancée Cherry Seaborn may have tied the knot in secret.

However, during his performance of ‘Supermarket Flowers’ during Wednesday’s (21 February) Brits, some eagle-eyed fans were a little distracted, after spotting what appeared to be a wedding band on his left hand.

However, he has set the record straight, insisting it’s actually an engagement ring he wears to show solidarity with his new fiancée.

Speaking to Sky News backstage before the event, Ed explained: “It’s an engagement ring. Because I feel like… I dunno. I feel like it’s good to both do things.”

The singer also revealed that Cherry had designed and made the ring for him.

“I never saw why men didn’t wear engagement rings,” he said. “It’s the same commitment either way. Cherry made it for me herself out of silver clay. I really like it.”
